Surprises Ahead

Scripture Reading: Ephesians 2:1-10

John Newton was amazed by grace. It wasn’t just words for a song. It was a heartfelt reality. I think the reason he felt the amazement of grace in the depths of his soul was because of where he had come from. The darker the stain of sin, the greater the river of gratitude for forgiveness runs. Jesus said of one woman, “She loves much because she has been forgiven much.”

Newton, besides penning the most beloved hymn of all time, said this:

When we get to heaven, there will be three wonders: First, we will wonder at who is there. Second, we will wonder at who is not there. Third, we will wonder at the fact that we are there.

That we are there will be a testimony to how truly amazing grace is
